H. Anthony Ruckel

The firm serves individual investors, their families, and straightforward trusts, providing discretionary portfolio management and limited hourly investment advice and reviews for employer pension and 401(k) accounts. It generally manages individual and retirement accounts with a minimum aggregate asset threshold for portfolio management.

The adviser follows a relatively conservative, long-term approach that incorporates growth-oriented positions where suitable, investing only in publicly traded securities—common and preferred shares, mutual funds, ETFs, and bond funds. Fundamental analysis is the primary security-selection method, with technical analysis used only as a secondary tool; the firm will accept written investment restrictions (such as environmental sensitivities) and largely avoids private or alternative investments except for publicly traded REITs and, in limited cases, covered-call strategies.

A distinctive feature is that the adviser is a licensed attorney who maintains a limited residual law practice (about 5–10% of professional time) and discloses processes to manage potential conflicts when clients are served in both legal and advisory capacities, including separate records for fees and hours. The firm emphasizes regular client communication and provides comprehensive written performance reports on a semiannual basis, reflecting an individualized service model.
